Do you ever just look at your best friend and wonder what life would be without them? Friends literally give meaning to our lives and teach us what "a soulmate" really is. Our friends give us a safe place to lean on, shoulders to cry on and reasons to be blessed every single day. It is rightly said that we don't get to choose our family, but we do choose our friends who, later in life, go on to become our extended family. So, it is important to express our gratitude towards those amazing friends who stood by us through thick and thin. Friendship day is observed to celebrate this beautiful bond between friends. On this day, friends from all over the world showcase love and warmth towards each other by sending them friendship day gifts. Some people believe that there shouldn't be a single day to love your friends and express your gratitude towards them, while some go out of their way to make their friends feel loved. Good friends are a blessing in life, and one must celebrate their existence in one's life.
Friendship day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August every year in India. This day came into existence over 60 years ago and has now become a much-awaited way among friends all across the globe. Here are a few lesser-known facts about friendship day:
The idea of celebrating this day was introduced by Joyce Hal, the founder of Hallmark cards, in 1919 as a promotional tactic. His main goal was to make people buy more and more cards for their friends on this special occasion. He believed that this would be good for business if people exchange cards in large numbers on friendship day, But unfortunately, this technique didn't work out as expected, and the market for greeting cards fell suddenly. It was Dr Ramon Artemio Bracho who started a foundation called the World friendship crusade and coined the term "friendship day". This is when friendship day actually came into existence. In 1998, Winnie the Pooh was declared as the world's ambassador of friendship at the United Nations. Later in April 2011, the UN started recognising 30th July as international friendship day.
There is no certain way to celebrate friendship day. Every friendship is unique in its own way, and friends celebrate their relationship. On this day, friends from different corners get together and celebrate their bond by commemorating all the beautiful and special memories that they have spent together.
Recreating old memories is one of the best ways to celebrate friendship day with your friends. If you're meeting your school friends after a long interval, plan to do something with them that you've remembered with nostalgia for many years. Taking a trip is an excellent way of making this day memorable. Take a long trip with your BFFs and make the most of it. Visit the places where you first met each other or the ones where something significant had happened. Or you can always choose to go to those places that you have dreamt of going to, TOGETHER!
Everyone is living a fast-paced life in the present-day world, but it's always important to look back and cherish the most beautiful memories of your life with your lovely friends. It is also extremely important to ensure that you don't grow apart from your friends. Plan something special for your best friends this friendship day and make your bond even stronger. Catching up with old friends and staying in touch with them every now and then, listening to their problems, being present for them, fulfilling your promises of forever is the best gift you can give to your friends on this friendship day.
